Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk aim to establish solar-powered AI data centres in space, addressing Earth’s resource limitations. However, Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, cautions that the rise of on-device AI could render such projects obsolete. Speaking on a podcast, he asserts, “The biggest threat to data centres comes from growing on-device capabilities.” As technology evolves, AI may increasingly operate directly on personal devices, shifting the landscape dramatically.
